Agree: The unbelievable weight of massive talent was one of my favourite films of recent times.

I've not seen that one, I'll have to check it out, ta.

Season 2's not bad either, but you have to accept that anything that goes past season 1 suffers from franchisitis.

(2022) Nicolas Cage stars as... Nic Cage, an unbearably talented actor caught up in a CIA investigation while trying to resurrect his ailing career. With Pedro Pascal as his charming buddy-cum-target.

I'd missed this too; sounds rather inspired by the likes of Birdman and Being John Malkovich ... which is no bad thing!

Watched this last night.
Gareth Southgate : Changing the Game for Young Men
Very interesting and thought provoking. Unfortunately I wonder how many of those who should watch it(young boys/men and their fathers) will get to see it seeing as it's primarily aimed at those who possibly have issues at home/absent fathers etc.

Got to the end of Legends. An enjoyable little series. Fun to watch and a good story.
Felt a bit rushed at times - could have probably been stretched out to 8 or 10 episodes.
The final episode was possibly the weakest - the bits in Germany and the boat scene didn't work that well.
Some great music throughout - highlight was the use of the Cure's A Forest in episode 5.

Enjoying the first few episodes of this ! A good series so far.

Just started watching this, enjoying it immensely.

Blimey, has it really been three months? Well, we're just starting the penultimate series (Seaside Hotel). Still loving it.

I finally got to the finale of The Boys and it didn't disappoint. I'm glad i watched the rather lacklustre Gen-V spinoff too (sits between series 4 and 5), otherwise I'd have had no clue who the additional characters came from.

Next I'm gonna try The Fortune, which my mother recommended.

A bit more Clarksons Farm while doing the ironing.

About half way through this, and still very much enjoying it. Great actors, decent storyline so far.
No confirmation yet, but it seems a 2nd series is relatively likely.

Steve Coogan seems so far removed from his Partridge role that it's astonishing.
Still only halfway through but loving it - I'd be happy with a second series if there's another story to tell.

I only have normal tv so I’ve never heard of most of what gets posted here.

For fellow viewers of BBC/ITV/etc I’ve recently enjoyed Two Weeks in August. I thought it was a bit too millennial at first but it drew me in.
And another shout out for BBC Scotland’s wonderful Only Child, the second series as enjoyable as the first.

Mum said I might enjoy Pillars of the Earth. I didn't. Gave up after one episode.

I'm going to start on series two of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder this evening. Already seen series one but re-watched episode one and episode six last night as a refresher.
